The part of the hike ends at a barrelled gate with a Forest Department office guarding it. One must take valid permissions from here before proceeding further on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is also the last point where you may fuel up and fill in drinking water.

Along the trail are eroded mud walls on the hillside, where, if you observe closely you may spot various species of microgreen ferns, algae, and florets. The path ends at a Huge boulder, which also marks the beginning of the next phase of your hike.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fourth_Grasslands\"><\/span><strong>Fourth, Grasslands<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Coorg-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9714 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Coorg-1.jpeg\" alt=\"tadiandamol peak trek\" width=\"750\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Coorg-1.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Coorg-1-600x448.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Coorg-1-300x224.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A clear view of the entire valley with no tall trees blocking the scenery, very sunny too. Although the path has a flat orientation, and easy to hike, the scorching sun may make it harder to cover. This makes for a good spot to grab some pictures with the destination pic in the background. The grassland is a lush green and verse carpet allowing the hikers to take breaks and power up for the journey ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fifth_Boulders_Pebbles\"><\/span><strong>Fifth, Boulders &amp; Pebbles<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DSC_0156..jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-9587\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/DSC_0156.-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"499\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we see the peak closing by, the route gets a little harder to traverse. Pebbles, stones, and boulders of all sizes carpet the trail. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One must be alert and careful not to step on loose bundles. As can be seen, a hiking pole or walking stick is quite a lot of assistance to help you be extra careful. At times, you may have to crawl on all 4 limbs to push yourself ahead. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sixth_Dense_patch_of_Forest_trail_foiled_with_Roots\"><\/span><strong>Sixth, Dense patch of Forest, trail foiled with Roots<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Coorg-2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9715 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Coorg-2.jpeg\" alt=\"tadiandamol peak trek\" width=\"750\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Coorg-2.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Coorg-2-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Coorg-2-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This thicket feels like a world apart from the rest of the trek. The foliage is so dense that barely any sunlight passes to the ground. The peak is no longer visible from here. Silence and serenity personified with mild chirps and cooing of little birds and crickets. Particularly, the trail here resembles a gradual staircase with the steps lined with thick and strong roots of the trees. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seventh_Slippery_Loose_Soil_track\"><\/span><strong>Seventh, Slippery &amp; Loose Soil track<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Coorg-5.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9718 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Coorg-5.jpeg\" alt=\"tadiandamol peak trek\" width=\"750\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Coorg-5.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Coorg-5-600x448.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Coorg-5-300x224.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural thrill at its best, this is where you truly begin appreciating your decision to do the Tadiandamol Trek! Step with great tact and, you\u2019ll reach the top without a single drop. Although slipping, tumbling, and rolling over is quite inevitable on the loosely held soil here. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Owing to the high altitude winds and weathering, the small stretch is as hard to cover albeit how small it may seem. The trick is, to walk over dried grass and even hold them for support at times. But, no trick works perfectly, one may discover their unique trick on what works at the moment. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lastly_The_Mighty_Peak\"><\/span><strong>Lastly, The Mighty Peak<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Coorg-3.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9716 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Coorg-3.jpeg\" alt=\"tadiandamol peak trek\" width=\"750\" height=\"719\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The benevolent view pays off for every drop of sweat shed, every bruise and scratch on your joints, and not to forget the criminal blisters.
